Little Band SceneThe little band scene is the name given to the post punk rock scene which flourished in Australia in the late 1970s and 1980s. This scene was concentrated around inner suburbs, and was characterised by large numbers of small bands, more concerned with artistic expression than mainstream success. The bands played in small inner-city venues, often pubs, and their music was sometimes broacast by community radio stations, such as 3RRR. In the scene, the distinctions between performers and audience were blurred; many of the people in the audiences at shows were either in bands or ended up forming such. The little band scene got its name from "little band nights", gigs organised in Melbourne by members of Primitive Calculators. At these nights, up to ten hastily assembled bands would play for fifteen minutes each. These nights led to the recording of the Little Band EP in 1979, featuring Too Fat To Fit Through The Door, Morpions, the Primitive Calculators and The Take. The Melbourne little band scene was the subject of the 1987 film Dogs In Space. Artists/bands associated with the little band scene
